Aoyuan, Jimei Academy Village, is the hard work of Xiamen celebrity Tan Kah Kee

Address: Jimei Art Village, Jimei District, Xiamen Introduction: Jimei Art Village is located in Jimei Tourist Area. It was founded with great investment by Mr. Tan Kah Kee. Famous attractions include Tan Kah Kee Building, Dragon Boat Pond, Tan Kah Kee's Former Residence, Tan Kah Kee's Life and Deeds Exhibition Hall, Tan Kah Kee Park, Ao Garden, etc. The overall architectural style is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, presenting the typical style of the overseas Chinese hometown in southern Fujian. No matter the tall and magnificent school buildings or the small and elegant pavilions, all of them have glazed roofs, dragon ridges and phoenix eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. But if you look closely, you will find that each one has its own unique ingenuity and no two are alike. The most beautiful of them are the Dragon Boat Pond and Jimei Middle School beside the pond, and the most worth seeing is the mausoleum of Mr. Tan Kah Kee - Aoyuan. Opening hours: open all day Tickets: Jimei Art Village itself is free to enter, Jimei Aoyuan, Jimei Guilaitang, and Mr. Tan Kah Kee's former residence are all priced at RMB 10. Travel experience: Jimei School Village can be said to be the hard work of Xiamen celebrity Tan Kah Kee. Mr. Jiageng put a lot of effort into running a school here. It takes a lot of time and money. In addition to admiring the Tan Kah Kee buildings, you must also visit Mr. Tan Kah Kee's mausoleum. Behind the cemetery is the very tall Jimei Liberation Monument, inscribed by Chairman Mao Zedong. A place of historical significance and value. It is also one of the must-visit attractions in Xiamen. Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #localtravel #goodplaceforfamily #familytravel #Xiamen #Jimeishuecun #Aoyuan

The Jimei School Village

This time in Xiamen, I specifically wanted to check out the legendary Jimei University Village—a "study magnet" that blends culture, aesthetics, and humanities, known as a nurturing hub for educational talent. Not only does it boast representative modern and contemporary architecture, it's also a must-see destination for strolling, photographing, and immersing yourself in the culture of Southern Fujian. Every step here is a dialogue between education and art. On a sunny day, the village exudes elegance and vitality, allowing you to breathe in the fresh air of knowledge! Recommended Itinerary for Jimei University Village 📍 Jimei University Village Address: 183 Yinjiang Road, Jimei District, Xiamen, Fujian Province Opening Hours: Open 24/7 Jimei University Village is a landmark educational complex in Jimei District, Xiamen. Founded by Tan Kah Kee, it encompasses numerous schools, from kindergarten to university. The most famous attractions in the village are the Tan Kah Kee Memorial Hall, a symbol of Chinese education, and Jimei Middle School. I recommend starting at the gate of Xiamen University Middle School and taking a leisurely stroll along the main street, admiring the elegant Southern Fujian-style architecture surrounding it. The white walls and red tiles blend with modern design, creating a rustic yet artistic aesthetic. 🎒 Trip Highlights - The school village boasts a vibrant campus atmosphere, with students jogging and reciting morning prayers everywhere, permeated by the spirit of striving for knowledge and hard work. - Experience the fusion of old and new—the grandeur of a century-old school meets the trendy elements of modern architecture, a delight for architecture enthusiasts. - The Jimei Middle School gate is a popular photo spot, creating a unique atmosphere in the morning light or sunset. Swaying trees and flowers outside the gate create an ideal cultural landscape. Tips: 1. Due to the large area of ​​the school village, it is recommended to wear sneakers and stroll slowly along Yinjiang Road, experiencing the interweaving of Southern Fujian culture and the modern campus. 2. On sunny days, a sun hat or sunscreen is essential; Xiamen's summer sun is abundant. 3. If you have more time, visit the Tan Kah Kee Memorial Hall along the way to immerse yourself in the educator's dedicated journey to founding the school. 4. There are many specialty snack shops around the campus where you can try authentic Xiamen delicacies like Jimei fish balls and shacha noodles. 🚗 Transportation Guide We recommend taking Metro Line 1 and getting off at Jimei University Village Station, or taking a taxi directly to 183 Yinjiang Road. The area around the campus isn't too crowded, making it a great place for a leisurely stroll and a great place for families. 🍽️ Food Recommendations Don't miss the street food around the school village: We recommend trying traditional Xiamen snacks like Jimei fish balls, shacha noodles, and peanut soup near the west gate of Jimei University Village. If time permits, try the local shops on Yinjiang Road for a truly authentic Xiamen experience. Conclusion: Jimei University Village is a perfect place to experience the humanistic and educational spirit of Xiamen. It embodies the rich stories of a campus steeped in history while also showcasing the vibrant energy of modern youth. After a visit to the school village, you'll take away not only beautiful photos and authentic snacks, but also the seeds of knowledge and dreams that have been planted in your mind. #JimeiUniversityVillage #XiamenHumanities #CampusWander #ArchitecturalAesthetics #XiamenTravel
